Veterans have served this country honorably and one of their benefits is VA medical care. When that VA medical care falls to the level of malpractice, I have a passion to help the injured veteran and their family.

When someone is injured or killed by malpractice at a VA facility, it doesn’t affect just them. It affects their entire family. Our law firm represents families in claims against the Department of Veterans Affairs when Department of Veterans Affairs was negligent and caused injury or death to their loved one.
